Following three straight losses, the Colorado State Rams men’s basketball team need a win in the worst way. Luckily, Arkansas-Fort Smith, a Division II team, was in Fort Collins Wednesday night.
Unluckily, CSU started the game quietly – much like Moby Arena was on Wednesday – trailing for the first 14 minutes of action inside the Whale. Finally, the Rams woke up with Prentiss Nixon’s extra effort and took the lead on two John Gillon free throws with 6:12 until halftime. Antwan Scott drained a 3-pointer from Estes Park which pushed the Rams ahead by five, but the play of the game came at the buzzer.
